Today we watched a Prezi Mr.Schick made about Ancient Egypt. We learned about Pharaohs, gods, the geography of Egypt, and daily life. The Nile River is everything to the people in Egypt. It flooded ever year and gave them fertile land to farm on. It had a delta on it which is a triangular shaped, marsh like, end of the river. . The higher up the ladder you were, the less of your kind there were. Many pyramids were built and it took many people to help them build it. We learned that the Egyptians were also very smart and figured out days from the suns pattern in the sky, months by the moons waning, and years by season changes and flooding patterns. Egypt also had many Gods that they worshiped and believed they all did a different thing for Egypt from flooding the river to representing animals. We will start again tomorrow without Mr. Schick because he will be in the play.
